the underscore parameter?

ashiers

Hi Guys,

When the DataTable first launches, and in particular in the example that displays on: http://editor.datatables.net/, I notice from firebug that the parameter passed to the server is just an underscore whose value is a 13 digit number. What is the significance of that number and what is the server side code doing with it?

Its the jQuery anti-cache parameter: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/ (the `cache` option). It just means that the request is made sure to be unique.
